Two crew members from Virgin Australia were allegedly sexually assaulted and another was robbed in a nightclub area in Nadi, Fiji, on New Year’s Day. Deputy Prime Minister Viliame Gavoka confirmed the incidents, stating that two crew members were assaulted and another was robbed.
The Fiji Police Force questioned a suspect for the alleged sexual assaults, but no further information is available due to an unreturned call from USA TODAY. Virgin Australia has sent personnel to support the affected team members, who are being accommodated at a local hotel.
Gavoka assured that the crew members’ health and wellbeing are of priority, adding that “incidents like this can happen anywhere” and emphasizing the importance of caution in nightclub areas. The three affected crew members are expected to return home before the end of the week.
